Here, mayt indicates strength in the sense of a power or force - he can lift a lot; merely resistive strength (less likely with a human subject, but common when talking about, say, an alloy) is instead either strength or (particularly of bonds, ropes, glue, and things holding together in general) fast.

He’s weremąnn ta miHe's my husband [lit. "He's (a) man to/for me"]

Several different translations for 'husband' are available. This is probably the most neutral, available in both colloquial and formal contexts.
However, in colloquial contexts, it would perhaps be more common to say simply he's mack ta mi ("he's my partner/spouse"), or, if his gender needed to be emphasised (or in slightly more formal contexts), he's mack were ta mi ("he's my male partner", though much more commonly heard in heterosexual partnerships than that suggests in English). In addition to small differences in formality, mack perhaps suggests more a sustained partnership, while weremąnn might be more common coming from a romantic newlywed, and would certainly sound odd coming from someone who was separated from their husband.

More formal contexts are likely to employ the words gumma and/or áfgumma. Legally, these correspond to, broadly, "common-law husband" and "legally-solemnized husband". However, in modern practice this distinction is no longer relevant, and the former is simply used as a variation on the latter - it is sometimes even spelled with an apostrophe, indicating that it is commonly (if incorrectly) viewed as an abbreviated form. Áfgumma is likely to be found in court documents, obituries, and similarly formal contexts, and as a romantic or whimsical variation in ordinary speech; weremąnn may be found in, say, government information brochures, sombre news articles, conversations with strangers and so forth, as well as swoony things written by teenagers; mack is more likely to be found in conversations with friends, lighthearted news articles* and the like.

*so, for example, in a newspaper one might expect:Lieg she ybhydwąld av an áfgumma ay ann sune - she is survived by a husband and one sonLąy she uð head tha twáda stuwa fąsht ay tha weremąnn - she and her husband lay trapped for two hoursShe nu stá ay tha mack afta ybhywenna ta an rollovaprize! - she and her husband have now won a rollover prize!

Note: Personal ronouns are used when the person referred to is not important or one does not want to specify who that person is. If one wants to specify who "he" is, one can use "ēzo", "ēza", "ēzi" (man, woman, animal), a name or a what they call a "social title": husband, wife, son, but also knight, priest, worker, etc. These "social titles" can be combined together as necessary.

渔 (yú) means "catch fish", whose homophony with 鱼 (yú) could provide for one an "Oh, beautiful Chinese!" moment, but let's not get carried away. As a verb, it ends up in modern Mandarin in compounds that make it feel positively adjectival/participial:

渔夫 - fisherman
渔民 - fisherfolk (people who make their living fishing)
渔村 - fishing village

are the ones I've heard, but I found some others at the following link:

All that said, I looked it up in that dictionary of "old Chinese" that Des recommended and I bought, and found the definition "捕鱼的人", "one who catches fish" -- aka "fisherman"(okay, back to 'Oh, beautiful Chinese.'), but frankly, as a non-native speaker, it's hard to imagine anyone speaking this way today.

I don't know if xinda was channelling the dynasties or was in a dialect area where 他是個漁。still flies, but as it stands, that sentence sounds incredibly strange to me, and I just envision native speakers doing a .

Ok, thanks for clarification, I'd have just accepted it otherwise, now I looked it up. My dictionary Pleco has indeed that meaning of 渔 as fisherman, but as you said, 渔民，渔夫，渔人 are all more prevalent. I'll just stick with 渔民 I think (although I am pretty sure that I'll never need it anyway).

Heaven and Earth, but I feel the color of the cake when you keep the Victoria.
I had a mantra on the moss and I had to go to bed.

I sometimes run these things past my native-speaker boyfriend to make sure I'm not just blowing smoke, and his reaction to 他是個漁。(and we just used IM, we did not speak) was "Surely, it's '它是条鱼'" -- which means, it sounds like "He/It is a fish." and you just got your measure words wrong.

Also worth mentioning that there are many characters that have meanings and represented distinct words in Classical Chinese but nowadays are only used in compound words, almost never as words on their own*. For example, the character 狮 means “lion”, but the word for “lion” is 狮子. If you look up 狮 in Pleco, it tells you that it means “lion” and gives some examples of words it’s used in, but doesn’t directly tell you that it can’t stand on its own as a word. It seems that many dictionaries are like this, so you have to be careful. I’m guessing 渔 is like this, too; as an element in compound words it does indeed mean “fisherman”, but that doesn’t mean you can simply translate “fisherman” as 渔.

*The one exception I can think of would be idioms, which are often in Classical Chinese.
